For analysis of a calcium sample, it is desirable to obtain a precipitate weighing about 0.50g. What size sample should be taken from a mixture which is approximately 56% CaO?
The preipitating reaction is
CaO (s) + CO2 (g) --> CaCO3 (s)
given precipitate mass CaCO3 = 0.5 g
CaCO3 moles = mass / Molar mass of CaCO3
= ( 0.5 g/ 100 g/mol) = 0.005
CaO moles needed = 0.005 ( since 1 CaO gives 1 CaCO3)
CaO mass needed = moles x molar mass of CaO
= 0.005 mol x 56.08 g/mol
= 0.2804 g
given mixture is 56 % which means we have 56 g CaO per 100 g mixture
Hence mass of mixture needed to get 0.2804 g CaO = ( 100 /56) x ( 0.2804 g)
= 0.5 g

Which statement about a confidence interval estimate of is true? A. Increasing the sample size decreases the error margin. B. Increasing the level of confidence decreases the error margin. OC. Decreasing the error margin makes the confidence interval wider. OD. Increasing the population mean increases the error margin, QUESTION 10 The fishing industry is interested in the mean weight of salmon caught by a certain fishing company.

GRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS Gravimetric Analysis-A type of analysis in which a sample is subjected to some treatment that causes a change in the physical state of the analyte that permits its separation from the other components of the sample. Mass measurements of the isolated analyte used along with the known stoichiometry of the compounds involved, permit calculation of the analyte concentration. Commonly, the analyte is separated by subjecting it to a precipitation reaction. -EXAMPLE a) A 0.4550-g solid mixture containing MgS0,...
The options below give information about three different distributions and samples taken from them: I. Population approximately normally distributed, population standard deviation known, sample size n=10 II. Population approximately normally distributed, population standard deviation unknown, sample size n=10 III. Population distribution skewed right, population standard deviation unknown, sample size n=50 Which of these three samples could be used to create a confidence interval for the mean of the respective population? You may assume that the population sizes are all greater...
For confidence interval computations, if the sample size is increased, we expect the margin of error to: a. Increase b. Decrease c. stay the same The company you work for produces automotive parts for GM. A certain machine that makes a cutout in a piece of steel averages a cut size of 203.2085 mm with a standard deviation of 0.2083 mm. A random sample of 66 is taken from the population. What is the distribution of the sample mean? Approximately...

What statement would be true about the histogram constructed from this sample a) it would be skewed to the right b) its shape could not be determined without knowing the relative frequencies c) It would be approximately symmetric d) it would be skewed to the left c) None of the above
Which of the following statements about sample size is true? a. A rule of thumb is to include at least two members from every subgroup to be analyzed. b. If the sample size is very small, a judgmental sample may be more reliable and representative than a probability sample. c. The determination of sample size should not involve cost. d. Low sampling costs do not justify a larger sample. e. None of the above.
